Big congrats!

I love the musk ox, I have it and is one of my favourite non-horse figurines :)

Thank you Silvia!! Yes the Musk ox is beautiful

Thanks Robert - the Schleich is probably the more realistic of the two, but I do love the Bullyland one [/quote]

Me too
And also the old ones, both from Bullyland and Schleich .
It is like my dogs, - Siggi is not so pretty, - but I love him anyway

Lovely Ibex, Harriet - you're smart to grab one now...

Congratulations, Harriet

Ohhh, your photoes are WONDERFUL, - and the figueres also, of course

Yough, don`t mention slugs, - we have some that are really, really creepy, - they even come into the house sometimes

They are an invasive species, they call them Ibereian slugs, but I am not sure that is where they come from

Just think of them as dinner, or more properly, an appetizer, Susanne... Not all slugs are suitable for eating, but the ones that are are divine, if prepared appropriately. The classic dish Escargot à la Bourguignonne is phenomenal, but I've also had slugs grilled and served on polenta rounds in Italian cuisine. Someday, I hope to find a good French restaurant which serves Escargots En Cercueils, which is the classic snail in puff pastry...




I've also had the pleasure of eating sea slug in a fantastic Japanese cuisine restaurant, and it was divine...

I guess I'm a little strange ( ) but I've always found slugs and snails to be quite cute. Here in the great state of California, the University of California at Santa Cruz' athletic teams are known as the Banana Slugs, so maybe I'm not alone.

Thanks Phil

Oh no I couldn't stand eating them, even if they were disguised in puff pastry

Well, you're English, so I feel I must inquire: do you like jellied eels?

Yes, I love eatable snails also * Helix pomatia * And I think they are cute and fun

But not these !
They eat dog poop, and they are cannibals , - they are SO disgusting

One more - another Bargain from eBay.
Mountain Goat

Comparison with the Safari one, which is practically identical, the Schleich one is better IMO, but I like them both very much

Congrats! They really look identical.

Congratulations with this lovely figure, - or these lovely figueres

From the last picture they look as if they come from the same mould, - just different painting
Are they the same except for the name ????

Nice OX!!! musk ox is one of the animal figure I want most.

Watta nice catch, Harriet. Congratulations. I think you should get the CollectA's Mountain Goats as well.

Thanks Gabe and Susanne, I think they must have used the same mould, they are identical apart from the paintwork. why would they use the same mould?

Thanks Ron!! I really want the CollectA mountain goats, but I can't get them in England and it's expensive buying from overseas. Hopefully one of the sites in the UK will sell them soon

Lovely mountain goat, Harriet... I have a special place in my heart for this figurine, as it was the first Schleich I ever purchased (at a toy store in San Francisco). I had no idea what Schleich was, but saw a huge display with many fine animal figurines, and I was intrigued, to say the least...!!

Thank you Phil! I can't remember being introduced to Schleich, but I'm sure I know the feeling of seeing all those wonderful animals for the first time and trying to choose one

In a trade with Daria (Cyhyraeth), I got the red deer calling - I've been wanting this guy for some time, thank you Daria!



And with his family

Red deer calling! Congrats! another great photos.

There is a snails farm 10 kms from my home...

Some pics of some "Escargots aux champignons en cocotte lutée" for you Phil




Bon appétit
Excellent with a "Saint Aubin" blanc or another "chardonnay" from Burgundy

Congratulation Harriet, it's avery fine stag

You are a very great man, Christophe... Thanks for the lovely photos. I'm now quite hungry!

Isn't a "cocotte" a custard-like egg dish? Egg, snail and mushroom would be a heavenly trio.

Very nice deer figurine, Harriet...
